Ha! I stumped my entire circle of extended co-workers during one of those getting-to-know-you-better exercises our former president was fond of by putting "I once won a free vacation in an athletic competition" on my slip. (The shooting accuracy competition I won in '97 where the prize was going to see a Washington Capitals home game.)
So it looks like the Impostor in the White House is throwing Bannon under the bus. I'll take it as a good thing because I don't think Ivanka and Jared are nearly as dangerous.
I'm torn because I really think it's out of line for family to be advising the President in any official capacity, but Ivanka and Jared are clearly the angels on Trump's shoulder opposite Bannon and the other scum he's surrounded himself with.
A moose once bit your sister?
For those kind of icebreakers, I like to use "Faced down an army in medieval armor with a bow and arrow." Though anyone who's known me for a while generally knows that true. I need something boring and typical as my untruth, like having two kids or I was born in California.
I hate trying to come up with something interesting to say about myself, and little-known would definitely make it harder.
We did something like that a few times in my office. I managed to stump them completely with (1) I was once interviewed on Entertainment Tonight and (2) my first job was being the Easter Bunny (both true).
Is anyone else familiar with the online comic 9 Chickweed Lane?

I've been re-reading it, and I hit the section where the mad New England farmer is writing advice for the rest of the cast, and it's wonderfully funny and touching and I want to post all of this segment to Facebook, but half the comedy is in knowing these characters (as with the best comedy).
It's chock full of dance and music and longing and passion and family dynamics, and I love it. Oh, and cats.
Oh, shrift, what about the job interview at Playboy? Or have you already broken out that story?
I never have something interesting. My boss says I should use the fact that my middle name (which I use) is actually not really my legal name. That seems weird to describe. But any sort of weird thing that I am OK with people at work knowing about me, someone already knows or could guess easily. Possibly the only thing that might shock someone (since I am a secretary) is my SAT score or my college GPA, but that just seems weird.
